 THE DIMWITS-
Hey Man, Good Set (Site)
This CD is loaded with what I call “timeless punk rock.“ By that I
mean, when completed, I'll take this CD with me in my time travel machine
and visit 20 years in the future and 20 years in the past. In both cases,
this CD will help boost my cool factor as all will surely enjoy its
timeless happening sound and old school punk feel. Hmmm, my standing in
someone’s coolbook may be jolted by my lack of knowing the lyrics
because I simply can't understand the lead singer, Bad Luck Brett.
Although, I do understand the lyrics in “Soap Not Dope“ which
tickled me like The Dread’s lyrical content in their “Hippies Suck.“
To make a liar of myself, I also liked the words in “Shannon’s Got an
STD“ and “Small Town Cop, “ although I mistook cop for cock for
first few listens. Hey, maybe
I am not as lyrically challenged as I originally suspected. Anyway, the
constantly changing tempo will urge those listening to churn like
they’re suffering an epileptic seizure, but with determined grins
a’grinnin’. Fifteen originals and one cover, a magnificent version of
Black Flag’s “Jealous Again,“ thump from the CD like a
Sunday morning hangover headache. This is a good one, and if I ever run
into these Boston area lads, I’ll say “Hey man, good cd. “ – Denis
Sheehan
